SAW-SET GAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,436, dated November 6, i888.

Application filed February 18, 1888. Serial No. 264.856. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, HENRY L. KINOAID, a resident of York, in the county of Meagher and Montana Territory, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Set-Gagesfor Crosscut-Saws; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will'enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in set-gages for crosscut-saws; and it consists in a frame having depending studs adapted to rest on the saw-blade, and an adj u'slablestop or screw to gage the inclination of the sawteeth, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a crosscut-saw, showing my improved set-gage applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the same, taken on the line was of Fig. 1, the set-gage being shown in side elevation. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of my improved set-gage.

A represents an elliptical frame, which is made of metal and has at one end a projecting ear, B. Formed integrally with theframe, and arranged in the center of the same, is a curved handle, 0, which extends from one end of the frame to the other and enables the sawset gage to be readily grasped and manipulated. On the under side of the frame, at one end thereof, and at the centers of its sides, are formed depending studs 1), which are adapted to bear upon thesaw-bladaas shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so as to arrange the ear B over one of the saw-teeth.

E represents a screw or stop, which is adjustable in a threaded opening in the ear, and may be turned so as to cause its point to apo proach or recede from the plane of the bases of the studs, according to the angle at which the saw-teeth are to be set.

The operation of my invention is as follows: As each saw-tooth is set or inclined, the gage 5 is applied to the saw in such a position that all of the studs rest firmly thereon. If the point of the stop or screwjust touches the point of the saw-tooth, the latter has been set or inclined to the proper angle. 50

A saw-set gage thus constructed is extremely cheap and simple, is very easily operated, and

may be adjusted to suit any saw.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. A saw-set gage comprising the frame having the studs to rest on the saw-blade, thepro-- jecting ear at one end of the frame, and the stop secured to the said ear, substantially as described.

2. A sawsct gage comprising the frame having the studs to rest on the sa\v-blade, the projecting car at one end of the frame, and the adjusting stop-screw working in a threaded opening in the ear, substantially as described. 65

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HENRY L. KINCAID.
